    Homeschooling Shakespeare: The Magic of Backyard Theater

    Can Shakespeare come alive in your backyard? In this heartwarming and inspiring episode, Kaitlin Zara talks with Mary Ellen Barrett, founder of the Front Lawn Playersโ€”a homeschool theater troupe that performed Shakespeare plays on backyards for 14 years. From handmade costumes and thrifted sets to children memorizing complex scripts and growing in confidence, Mary Ellen shares how homemade theater became a transformative educational and spiritual experience for her family and community. She offers practical advice for homeschool moms who want to incorporate drama into their learning, without needing Broadway budgets or perfect homes. Youโ€™ll be inspired to embrace creativity, community, and even a little chaos for the sake of something beautiful. Sponsor Thank you to our sponsor: Franciscan University of Steubenville At Franciscan University, students live the truth of the Gospel in a vibrant Catholic community that unites faith and reason in every major.

About Our Guest: Mary Ellen Barrett Mary Ellen Barrett is a homeschooling mother from Long Island and a founder of the Front Lawn Players, a backyard Shakespeare troupe that performed 14 plays over 14 years.  Mary Ellen also serves as the Chairman of the Board at Seton Home Study School, editor at Seton Magazine, and podcaster at Stay at Homeschooling Moms Follow Mary Ellen on Substack: https://maryellenbarrett.substack.com/ Explore Homeschool Connectionsโ€™ online Shakespeare courses. In This Episode, We Discuss: How six homeschool moms started performing Shakespeare on their front lawns. Why seeing and hearing Shakespeare first makes it accessible to kids. The difference between reading Shakespeare and performing it. How performance builds confidence and lifelong public speaking skills. The interdisciplinary power of theater (literature, history, math, art, music). Creating elaborate productions on a homeschool schedule. Why May became โ€œShakespeare seasonโ€ in their homes. Hosting public backyard performances (and even performing at Westbury Gardens!). The deep community formed among the moms and families. The powerful story of Mary Ellenโ€™s son Ryan and the gift of acceptance through theater. Making space for neurodivergent and differently-abled children in creative work. Letting go of perfection (yesโ€”even the sticky kitchen floor). Practical advice for starting your own homeschool theater group. Key Takeaways 1. Start Small Begin with simple costumes, a backyard, and a short play. Grow gradually each year. 2. Performance Makes Shakespeare Click Watch it. Hear it. Experience it. Once children see it performed, the language becomes accessible. 3. Theater Builds More Than Academic Skills Drama fosters poise, moral imagination, confidence, friendship, and belonging. 4. Play to Your Strengths Sew, cook, build, direct, organizeโ€”every mom can contribute in her own way. 5. Community Changes Everything The Front Lawn Players wasnโ€™t just about Shakespeareโ€”it created lifelong friendships for moms and children alike Encouragement for Homeschool Moms You donโ€™t need a stage. You donโ€™t need perfection. You donโ€™t need a spotless house. You do need creativity, courage, and community. As Mary Ellen beautifully reminds us, no one will remember the messy kitchen floorโ€”but your children will remember the magic you created together.

    Fearless Homeschooling: Choosing a Philosophy | Ep 272

    With so many homeschool philosophies to choose fromโ€”Charlotte Mason, classical, unschooling, eclecticโ€”itโ€™s easy to feel overwhelmed. How do you choose the right approach, especially when youโ€™re raising multiple children with very different personalities? In this encouraging and practical episode, Kaitlin Zara sits down with veteran homeschooling mom of seven, Bonnie Landry. Bonnie homeschooled for 32 years and shares how she built a peaceful, relationship-first home without rigid rewards, pressure-heavy academics, or fear-based decision-making. From teaching bookish learners and high-energy boys under one roof to prioritizing connection over conflict, Bonnie offers wisdom for homeschooling moms who want confidence, clarity, and joyโ€”especially in large families. If youโ€™ve ever worried about falling behind, choosing the โ€œwrongโ€ philosophy, or losing your identity as a nurturing mom while becoming the โ€œteacher,โ€ this conversation will renew your courage.

Prioritizing relationship over control creates long-term trust and willingness. You donโ€™t need pressure to produce strong academics. Bonnieโ€™s children thrived in college and university without a heavy academic hand. Homeschool philosophy should serve relationships, not the other way around. The real question isnโ€™t โ€œWhich curriculum?โ€ but โ€œHow can I foster strong relationships in my home?โ€ Large family homeschooling can be peaceful. Short lessons, shared family studies, and intentional breaks make it sustainable. Be fearless. God gave you your children and the grace to educate them.

    Revolutionizing History Education Through Gamification | Ep 270

    Why do so many students find history boring, and how can we change that? In this episode, Kaitlin sits down with Zack Edwards, educator, game designer, and CEO of Historical Conquest, to explore how storytelling and gamification can completely transform the way children learn history. Drawing from his own negative experiences with traditional history education, Zack shares how interactive games, emotional connection, and goal-oriented learning dramatically improve engagement and retention. This conversation is especially encouraging for homeschool parents who want to move beyond textbooks and worksheets and help their children love learning. From understanding learning styles to creating meaningful educational experiences that stick, Zack offers practical insightsโ€”and inspiring examplesโ€”of what education can look like when itโ€™s fun, personal, and purposeful. Show Notes In this episode, we discuss: Why history is often taught in a way that disconnects students from real people and real stories How storytelling creates emotional attachmentโ€”and why that matters for long-term retention The difference between true gamification and โ€œeducational junk foodโ€ apps How games can boost retention rates far beyond lectures and rote memorization Why homeschoolers are uniquely positioned to personalize education The role of competition, goals, and rewards in motivating learners Understanding and supporting different learning styles at home How gamified learning can strengthen family connectionโ€”not replace it Why safe, values-aligned alternatives to mainstream gaming platforms matter Featured Guest: Zack Edwards is an educator, game designer, and CEO of Historical Conquest, as well as President of Xogos Gamingโ€”an educational gaming platform offering a safe, standards-aligned alternative to mainstream online games.

In this deeply moving episode of the Homeschool Connections Podcast, host Kaitlin Zara welcomes back Catholic author, speaker, and homeschooling mother of ten, Kendra Tierney Norton, for a candid and compassionate conversation about walking through grief while homeschooling.
